On the question of war

I recently got a chance to go to the Ocar nominated movie "Letters from Iwo Jima" it is the feature film that tells the particular story of one Japanese draftee. He is a young baker who has just become a father. One thing that he promises the unborn daughter is that he will return. For Japan the war has become quite hopeless. There is nothing that war is that anyone except the protected like about war. But for once I even as a Japanese American agree. I would no sooner live like they do in Japan than I would myself commit suicide.

Over and over again the difference between the two cultures and their similarities are displayed. I can only think that all people want to live in peace and raise their children to have a life worth living. This is the nature of most of us, but for the rest of us. I can only think of this, there are insidiously evil people who want to take your freedom away because they can. And these kinds of people must be resisted at all costs, including war.

I want that kind of a world for my children.

2 precious daughters, the mothers of tomorrow.

my children, them I would gladly fight and die for.
